Ramanuja: Freedom Through Belonging

In Season 2 of the Neurokrish Immersion, The Many Phases of Freedom, we explore the life and philosophy of Ramanuja, the great architect of Visistadvaita. From a young disciple who wept at a harsh interpretation of the divine, to a revolutionary thinker who challenged Advaita’s doctrine of Maya, Ramanuja redefined freedom not as dissolution, but as belonging. We examine his seven great untenables of Advaita, his doctrine of relational non-dualism, his radical act of sharing the sacred mantra, and his vision of devotion as expansive, communal, and neurologically regulating. This is the story of freedom through relationship, grace, and sacred ecosystem building.
